LAVIS C04 - 17 - Gel Polish 0.5 oz - Wildflower Whimsy Collection

Soft dreamy lilac pastel: that is Lavis C04-17, from the 24-shade Wildflower Whimsy line (blooming-field pastels in pinks, greens, blues and lilacs). The finish is cream pastel. Two thin coats for a smooth cream; pastels go on thin to avoid ridges.

Why techs pick C04-17

• Cream pastel finish from the Lavis C-series, the specialty-finish range.
• Formulated without HEMA: stated as what is left out, not as a promise that nobody can react.
• 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) salon bottle, high-gloss, smooth application.
• 60 second cure per coat under UV or LED; Lavis quotes up to 21 days of wear with proper prep and a top coat.

Questions about C04-17

What does HEMA-free mean here? Lavis formulates the C-series without HEMA, the small monomer in most gel products and the one most often named when a client reacts to gel. That is an exclusion, not a guarantee that no one reacts.

Can I layer C04-17 over a cream color? Yes. One coat over a cured solid adds the cream pastel finish to that color; two coats over bare base give the look Lavis designed.

How is it removed? A normal gel soak-off: file the top thin, wrap in acetone, wait, push the softened gel away. Never pry.
